Different data source for different Combobox rows

[Claude]

I have a grid view in which I want to customize the combobox entries for a given row depending on user selection of another combobox entry in the row.  Different rows would have different data sources.  Is this possible, and if so, can you tell me how to do it? 

Thanks.

Hello Claude,

Please handle the CellEditorInitialized event and set the data source for the RadDropDownListEditorElement, like so:
 

void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row is GridViewNewRowInfo)
    {
        if (e.ColumnIndex == 0)
        {
            var editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadDropDownListEditor;
            if (editor == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            var editorElement = editor.EditorElement as RadDropDownListEditorElement;
            editorElement.DataSource= someOtherDataSource;
        }
    }
}

I didn't have a chance to test his solution until now.  It worked fine.
